...Additional Periods of Rain and Snow...

A low approaching the West Coast this afternoon and evening will
cause another round of gusty southerly winds and snow to impact
the area. Winds from this system will be slightly weaker than the
previous front earlier in the week. Gusts peak around 25 to 35 mph
south of the Bering Strait and up to 30 mph north of the Bering
Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause more precipitation to fall
as snow rather than rain, but there will still be areas of
rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys. Snow totals will generally be
1 to 3 inches for most areas, but greater totals of 4 to 7 inches
are possible along the Southern Seward Peninsula and Western
Brooks Range, especially along south facing slopes.
